Remove False Claims Against Your Co-Op Share Or Condominium Unit

Slander of title occurs when someone makes false statements or files false documents that cast doubt on your ownership of your co-op share or condominium unit, damage its marketability, or prevent you from selling or refinancing. A false lien filing, a fraudulent claim of ownership interest, or public statements asserting a right to your residential property can destroy your ability to transfer your share or unit or obtain financing. Even if the false claim is eventually removed, the damage to your property’s marketability and value is real. The building corporation may refuse to approve a sale or transfer based on false claims. Potential buyers may be frightened away by clouds on your title. Lenders may refuse to finance a purchase based on false filings. Sverd Law Firm has successfully pursued slander of title claims on behalf of co-op shareholders and condominium unit owners whose titles have been maliciously attacked by false filings or defamatory statements.

How Slander Of Title Damages Your Residential Property

Slander of title in residential buildings takes many forms. Someone may file a false lien against your share or unit claiming money you do not owe. A disgruntled neighbor or former business associate may file a fraudulent adverse possession claim against your residential unit. A contractor or service provider may file a false lien for work never performed. An unscrupulous party may make false public statements asserting an ownership interest or claiming knowledge of title defects. The building corporation may falsely claim you owe unpaid assessments and record a lien against your unit. A spurious claim of easement, encumbrance, or board violation may be filed or publicized. Each of these actions clouds your title, frightens away potential buyers or lenders, and prevents you from freely selling, leasing, or refinancing your residential property. The damage is not merely technical—it destroys the marketability of your home.
